Hard drives never goes to sleep
Bonjour,
I am having an issue with a "fresh" Windows 10 installation. I emphasis "fresh" because it ain't so fresh anymore but has been reinstalled and the problem was not present on my last installation.
I currently have 4 standard HDD (3x green, 1x black) and 1 SSD where Windows is installed.
The problem I have is even though there are absolutely no activity on the hard drives, they never goes to sleep. I have disabled Windows Search service (still, I was using it on my last installation with no problem with sleep).
I don't know what to do to fix this but I really want the hard drives to sleep when unused for many obvious reasons.
Is there a way to force the sleep or find what is preventing Windows from putting them to sleep?
Thanks all for your help and support on this.
